Hey everyone,
I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to join up. I really don't have much of anything to contribute, but I think I'll learn a lot being here.
I could go on and on, but I'll summarize things. I'm a homeschooled 17 year old, the term homeschooled being used loosely. I pursue the things in life that I wish to achieve excellence in. I've been doing general design since the age of ten, starting with some web and then moving on to print. However, music makes up the majority of life. Parents met in a band, been playing drums since the age of 3, yadda yadda.
Anyway, I've always been interested in film but never had the resources to create what I thought was a decent effort. Then Sigur Ros came along with some extra footage from their documentary "Heima". I figured I'd throw something together to see what I can do. You can view that here:

The two main focuses were color and texture. The footage was more of a back drop for this. I also didn't want to use all footage that the band provided, so I animated some photos, stuff like that. The first two minutes are actually stills I animated. Isn't a lot going on, but it was an effort.
Anyway, any tips, suggestions, anything. Rip it apart if you wish. I'm aware of a couple things (de-interlacing, or rather the lack of), etc.. Again, it's my first effort in anything video related.
Thanks for taking a look, means a lot.
